Everything I Have Learned in Direct Sales

September 21, 2016 By purpletc

My Four Year Direct Sales Anniversary and What I Have Learned

You could say I have learned a lot in the last 4 years.  When I started direct sales, I was a full-time child and family photographer.  I was working 20-30 hours a week taking pictures of other families, then working another 40-60 hours a week editing, marketing, and doing administration.  I had a part-time assistant and a part-time baby sitter (Did I mention my children were 4 and 2 and still at home full time?).  I was tired, burnt out, and didn’t know what to do.  I had been out of the workforce for 4 years and really didn’t want to go back. 

One day, I was doing a photo booth at a vendor event and I spied “them” -these awesome little pieces of jewelry.  They seemed like they would fit so well into my photography studio… but I lied to the woman running the booth, saying it was for a friend that I took the information.  I loved them.  So, I went home, thought about it overnight, asked some basic “not for me, but for my friend” questions, and took the plunge.  I didn’t tell my husband what it was, “Oh, just some jewelry samples for the studio.”  He would have killed me if I had to join ANOTHER direct sales company.  In just the past 2 years, I had joined both a stamp company and a food company.

What was different this time?  I made a decision that I needed to find some extra income and I was actually going to work the business this time.  So, when the package came in, I took the time to read the materials that were in the kit.  I watched the (very few) videos in the back office.  I started telling everyone, except my husband, what I was doing.  I got the “is it one of those pyramid things?”  My response was, I sure as heck hope so!  I shared what I was doing.  I was shocked when people started buying from me, even more shocked when they wanted to start their own thing.  By the time we hit Christmas, my “little” team had grown.

Now what?  Well, now I felt responsible for these people – so, I went out and I started learning.  I watched every Youtube video I could find, read every blog I could find.  I asked leaders in my company who they followed, and ordered books and videos from them.  I absorbed everything I could about the industry and how to make it work.

Did I make mistakes?  FOR SURE.  Did I make the same mistake more than once?  Yep, maybe even 3 times.  But I kept doing it, because of the people that started their own businesses with me.  Did all those people succeed?  Nope – but what I have come to learn over the last 3 years, is that it isn’t my fault.  I made choices along the way that have impacted my success.  I cannot be held responsible for what other people do or do not do.

I ranked up quickly through the company’s commission plan.  In 18 months, I hit the 2nd highest level, was in the top 5 in our company in all of Canada, and in the top 20 in the entire company.  I was riding a high – and then it happened.  On January 12th, 2016, I received an email that the company had to stop operations and was closing.

Shock – total shock.

I had come to rely on the income.  My family had built our lives around this business.  I cried for about 2 hours, big ugly yucky tears.  (I had a bad feeling the night before, so had asked my husband to stay home from work “just in case”.)  Then, I decided I needed to do something.  We called a video meeting with our team.  We talked about next steps, how to move forward, what we would do.

By some luck, within 7 hours of receiving the initial news, we heard rumblings of “something”.  A company was going to come in and support us.  Our teams would move over, they made the quick promise and would do everything they could to make things right.

They didn’t have to do anything.  They could have let the natural progression fall apart and there would be nothing left of my beloved company.

Has the transition been smooth?  Nope, not even close.  Those of us that have chosen to stay and work with the new company are just now beginning to see the rewards – almost 9 months later.  What I can tell you is that the rewards with the new company are going to be way better and bigger than they could have ever been with South Hill Designs.  What I learned while I was with the new company was incredible, but I also learned that it isn’t the company I want to be with.  There have to be 3 things in any company – good products, good people, and a good support structure.  So, I went off looking, and now I am with another amazing company and look forward to some great opportunities.

What have I learned in direct sales in the last 4 years?  Here is a summary…

  1. If you want something, don’t worry about what others think.  The only person you have to answer to at the end of the day is you.  If you can look at yourself in the mirror at the end of the day, you have done a good job.
  2. If you want something and don’t know how to get it, YOU need to find the answers and not expect anyone else to find them for you. My sponsor and I were learning at the same time, but we both have different strengths and weaknesses.  She learned her way, I learned mine – but we have both been successful.
  3. Sh#t happens – get over it and get moving again.
  4. This is the best industry in the world. You can pick your own hours to work, your own timelines, and your own destiny – but don’t get me wrong, you still need to work.  I work a good 40- 50 hours a week but I work WHEN I want to.  I might work on a Saturday at a vendor event, but then take a Wednesday to get my hair done.
  5. There is no better industry for rewards. I have figured it out, and in the last 3 years, between trips I have won, free product, and other benefits – I have likely earned an extra $10,000 in “stuff.”
  6. This industry is not perfect.  There are things about it that I don’t like – but nothing in life is perfect, and I have the power to fix the things that I don’t like.
  7. I would not do anything differently and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

I have found my “home.”  Network marketing, multi-level marketing, direct sales, party plan– whatever you want to call it, I am home.  I know that I am with the BEST company out there.  It has a mix of products  (no more one hit wonder products for me).  It has a comprehensive and varied compensation plan.  I can see that the company is stable.  It is diverse, stable, and scalable – sounds like a darn good investment in my books.  It has an amazingly caring management team, almost ALL have been in the field, so they get what we do every day.  Is it perfect?  Nope – but that is ok.  I am not perfect, either.

Edited: April 2019.  I have moved on from that company.  I loved the people that I met but I also knew that I needed a clean break.  I worked 2 years for a direct sales coach and now I am teaching direct sellers how to blog! 😀  I am going back into the “life,” as they say, and am super happy to have found another home – so check out my OTHER blog right here!

Book Review: The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon

June 25, 2016 By purpletc

Heads up! This post may contain affiliate links to products or services that I recommend. If you purchase those products, I may receive a small amount of compensation (like a referral fee). There is no extra charge to you. If you want more information, you can check out my full affiliate disclosure here.

The Energy Bus is not just a book for people who are in business for themselves.  This book is a great, quick read (at least the first time through) that really helps you focus on the people around you who have the right energy.

From the Author’s Website about The Energy Bus:

“It’s Monday morning and George walks out the front door to his car and a flat tire. But this is the least of his problems. His home life is in shambles and his team at work is in disarray. With a big new product launch coming up in 2 weeks for the NRG-2000 he has to find a way to get it together or risk losing his marriage and job. Forced to take the bus to work, George meets a unique kind of bus driver and an interesting set of characters (passengers) that over the course of 2 weeks share the 10 rules for the ride of his life… and attempt to help him turn around his work and team and save his job and marriage from an almost inevitable destruction.” source The Energy Bus Website

This story travels with George as he gets on and off the bus for two weeks.  He meets a whole host of crazy characters along the way, many people who are on your OWN energy bus.  What it shows is that there is way more to the energy that surrounds you than you may first think. 

The first time I read this book, my business was going great, my life seemed great.  Well, over the transition in the last 6 months, I have realized who is truly on my bus and who was just filling up space.  I found this book again as we began packing to re-locate.  So I sat down and re-read it.  As I did, I purposely took the time to meditate on the people who are now on my bus.  I have discovered a whole host of new characters, many of whom I had no idea existed 6 months ago, and these amazing people are hopping on my bus so willingly to truly help me on my journey.  I have also found that some of the people who were sitting on my bus, who I thought were positive passengers, were really just hiding there, waiting to get off. 

I am so glad that I took the time to re-read this book.  I have my little bus images that I got from Staples.  On it, I have placed the names of the people that I know are on my bus, and I hope they know that I am on theirs.  This industry is all about supporting and helping others.  I am blessed every day to be surrounded by such amazing people!

Here’s hoping you have a fabulous week and are living the life you want!

Using a Vision Board in Your Direct Sales Business

June 20, 2016 By purpletc

Vision Boards Direct Sales, The Purple Teacup

What is a vision board and why do I need one?

A vision board can be a very powerful tool in your business and in your life.  Most people have dreams, but when you talk to the most successful people, they will say it is their vision that got them where they are.

A dream is simply that- something that is in your head that you would like to happen.  Many times, dreams simply don’t happen.  Most times, we don’t even share those dreams with anyone because we think that people will get the wrong impression of us.

A vision is a stronger “want,” something that you really plan to make happen.  When you use a vision board, you visualize those wants in a stronger way and you place those desires out in the universe to help with the acquiring those desires.

Vision and vision coaching have been used in athletics for years.  Think about the baseball player who pays a Vision Coach THOUSANDS of dollars to help him visualize hitting a home run and winning a major game.  A vision coach will talk him through every step of the way from leaving the dugout, hitting the ball to running the plates, getting to home and the cheers.

So, let’s talk about YOUR vision.  On one of our recent Team Vitality calls, we were talking about vision boards and creating a vision for your life.  On the call, I asked each participant to tell me one thing they would have on their vision board.  One of the ladies wants a car. She has been taking public transit for a number of months now.

So, here were her homework steps…

I asked her to decide on a brand and a type of car (Toyota Rav).  Her next job was to go to a dealer and take one for a test drive- make sure she likes it and it is what she really wants.  Next, she is to take a selfie of her IN the car and email that picture to me along with printing a copy and putting it somewhere she is going to see it every day. Then I asked her to visualize what the freedom of having her own car will feel like.  How that will change her life?  What that independence will that give her?  Now, she has a solid VISION of life with that car and a goal to earn it.  It may take her a number of months, or even a year, to get there, but she WILL be driving that car.

So, how do you decide what your vision is – that really is up to you.  Your vision board should have visual representations of what you want in your life.  If you want to have more time for yourself, find a picture of what you’d like to do with the spare time.  If it is paying off debt so your life can be less stressful, then have a picture of dollar signs.  Your vision board can be as small or as big as you want.

These are my tips for you…

– Make it real.  Virtual vision boards are great, but having something that you can see every day helps you get over the hurdles.
– Involve the people in your life that you want to be included in your vision- whether it be a spouse, friends, your children, or siblings.  One lady I know, for example, wanted to buy a home for her mom.  First, of course, she needed to find out from her mom what type of house she wanted.
– Include words, phrases or quotes that speak to you and to the vision for your life.
– Don’t be afraid to change it.  Like anything, priorities and life change and so should the vision for your life.
– Make sure to re-visit it.  I like to take some time every 6 months and see if I am heading in the right direction and if those visions still speak to me.  Then once a year, I do an “overhaul.” I take off anything that I have accomplished and I add or move things around.
– The most important thing to do is to START!

I have started collecting some samples of vision boards on my Pinterest page – feel free to check them out!

Using a Vision Board in Your Direct Sales Business 5

What are your chances of success today?

March 23, 2016 By purpletc

Boss Lady, The Purple Teacup Co.

As an entrepreneur, solopreneur, marketer, social seller, or just about anyone who has to get out of bed in the morning, your chance of success boils down to 1 thing – YOU.  There may be factors in the way that slow you down and challenge you with pit stops, but ultimately YOU are the person that determines how you handle those curves, bends, and changes in direction.  You create your own success.

What are your chances of success today? 6

In September 2013, I was a busy portrait photographer with plenty of success.  I was booking, selling, doing all the right things, but it wasn’t right for me anymore.  I had hired 2 other people to help me with my workload, which just meant that we all needed to work more to compensate for their incomes.  Then BOOM, I got thrown a curve ball!  Someone placed an opportunity in my hands and I had to make a decision.  I could hand it back, and keep on my path, or take the opportunity and try it!

In improv comedy, there is a basic principle called “Yes, and.”  If you are given an offer on stage by another performer, say yes to it and run with it – you don’t know where it is going to lead you, but it will inevitably take you somewhere.

At our team meeting last night, one of our members asked me about meetings in her local area, and why no one else had started them.  My basic response to her was – if you want team meetings in your area, start team meetings in your area!

Here are some key thoughts that I have found helpful in my life, especially in my business:

You need to decide WHAT you want.

You need to decide WHO can help you get that.

You need to ASK them for the help.  Waiting for them to offer can leave you sitting stalled for a long time.

You need to decide WHEN you want to get it done.

You need to decide HOW you are going to get it done.

You need to be willing to take detours, pit stops along the way, and maybe the WHAT you want changes, but always, always always keep moving.
